PRICE FORBES AND BISHOPSGATE LAUNCH JOINT ENERGY GROUP

Price Forbes and Bishopsgate Insurance Brokers have launched a combined energy group under the leadership of Gordon Newman, chairman of Bishopsgate. The two broking groups form the specialty and international segment of the Ardonagh Group, a UK insurance intermediary. Newman will coordinate the new energy group’s production activity across both brands. “This group will service clients across the full spectrum of energy business on a worldwide basis,” he said. Newman joined Bishopsgate last year, having previously served as chief executive of what was then Cooper Gay's London operation, Cooper Gay Newman Martin Buchan.
